The bathroom is very clean but needs renovation or correction, sometimes there is a strange smell of water. The toilet seat is loose. The room could already be freshly painted. The bedding is of good quality but slowly needs to be replaced. If the above aspects were met - the facility would deserve a rating of 9 or more.

Beautiful flower garden and view from the balcony. Large balcony, large room, everything you need was in the room. The bed was large and comfortable. We appreciated the equipment - masks and fins, because not every guesthouse has them prepared like that. We liked the good organization of breakfasts in the garden. Maldives or continental breakfast, lots of fruits and fresh juices. Friendly staff. Close to the east beach. What we asked for was provided. Clean. Thank you.

No criticisms at all- excellent value for money

Loved the view from the balcony and the peaceful setting. Free bikes, good breakfast, regular room cleaning and friendly staff all appreciated. We were unhappy with our room on arrival and very much appreciated their willingness to offer an alternative. Definitely recommended.

They serve you breakfast w/o asking which you prefer.

Breakfast was okay but they give you the same breakfast everyday with only 2 options.

Very clean apartment with a beautiful garden. Water, tea and coffee available all the time. Friendly staff, located near peaceful sunrise beach. Very tasty maldivian breakfast. You get two bikes per room for free. The rooms are big enough for four people. We really enjoyed our stay here, thanks.

Our booking (which was made more than one month prior to arrival) fell victim to an overbooking just a few days before our arrival. The manager wrote me a message, offering a later arrival or to stay the first night at another guest house. Everything worked out fine with the other guest house, but ideally that overbooking shouldn't have happened in the first place. When the time came to settle the bill, the manager was a little annoying, insisting to add a 4% service charge unless we paid in cash. I had to remind him that in the description of the guest house, it specifically said that it was free to pay by card. After some haggling he finally caved and said he had "talked to his boss, who were willing to drop the service charge". Sure, whatever. We paid by card, and the price was correct, so that was all good. But having to haggle was annoying.

Location is fine; the guest house is split in two areas (one on each side of the road). We were told one was for families and the other for couples. Either way, the rooms were nice and spacious with a mini fridge (very important), a balcony and a comfy bed. At arrival we were given like 12 litres of water, so we never had to buy any for the rest of the stay. There are also free bicycles, a nice touch. The breakfast was either continental or maldivian (you had to order which one), the maldivian by far the best. Regardless of what you ordered, you also got a plate of fresh fruit.

Ali was a great manager, he arranged all the necessary things. The employees tried the same. We liked the Maldivian breakfast, although every day the breakfast was the same (Maldivian and continental). There were fresh fruit juices every morning and fresh fish for dinner.Good value for the money.

Just a minimal point: Breakfast was good, but only had during our stay of 4 days 2 options to choose.

Nice hotel and room, quiet AC, near to the sunrise beach, free bikes, near to restaurants and shops, quiet. The island is nice, the sunset beach is nice and there are many turtoises in the water. We recomment to travel with the speed boat to the island (1h from airport, instead of 8 hours with ferry).

Stayed in March 2024

Quick respones on Whatsapp, hassle free transport, free bicycles to move around the island for the whole duration of our stay. Great stay overall with very helpful personel.

We didn’t feel particularly welcomed by the staff, we also had to pay cash and i am still waiting for a receipt despite having asked for it twice. The website should mention that payment by cash will be required.

Rooms are pretty new and very comfortable, very close to the sea too.

Breakfast was great. Staff are very kind. It is very close to sunrise bikini beach, restaurants, supermarket. And we used diving mask for free. They organized our transport from airport Male to Thoddoo and back to Male .Everything we asked they helped us.

The towels were clean and fragrant but a little dirty, probably from rust from the dryer

Amazing place. We really liked the terrace with seating and a swing. Seating is also in the back of the house. Every day there was a clean-up. The owners were kind and answered all our questions. For breakfast there was a choice of continental or traditional Maldivian breakfast. Drinking water is available all day. You can also rent equipment for snorkeling. Accommodation is very quiet and I recommend it for families with children.

Really nice owner, who takes time and helps you with everything :) Accommodation also provides you free bikes and snorkling equipment as well as breakfast, so you can really just enjoy and relax.

The breakfast time interval is too short 1 hour (8:30-9:30) Some rooms had soap in the bathroom, others didn't. One of the rooms had a dirty towel, but it was exchanged easily.

The place is clean and maintained. They managed our transfer and also sent a transport to the dock. The breakfast is really good.

We were in a unit called Fathis in front of the main building of Sunrise Inn, where also the breakfast was served. It was OK, as the rooms looked the same as in pictures. The main problem was terribly smelling water in shower and sink in both rooms we booked. The smell reminded me of rotten egg. I don’t know why that was as we even asked tourists from different hotels, and they did not have smelly water on the island. I’d rather not know what the smell was, but it was extremely unpleasant. In the room, there should be more towel racks and shelves. There are gaps between the door and walls, so you can hear noises from outside. The location of this accommodation is 2 minutes by bike from the less popular beach which we did not visit at all. The other, more popular and interesting beach is about 10 minutes away by bike. The manager Ali did not speak to us the whole time, he did not ask if we needed anything or he did not even say hi to us when he met us somewhere, sometimes it felt like he was avoiding us or that he was mad at us for something. We were expecting a bit different approach as the whatsapp communication before we came was good.

It was really clean and spacious, the bed was super comfortable and big, AC and wifi were working well. There is a private terrace with sofa and table with chairs. The cleaning guys were really nice and cleaned our room everyday. Breakfast was simple but delicious, we could choose between Maldivian and Continental breakfast (this is a standard here in almost each guest house/hotel), which was freshly made. They also served us with local fruits and juices.

Theoretically there may be tea and coffe included in the price (but it may be in another building or in the outdoors dining area? I'm honestly not sure where or how as I was not informed) - But in 3 minutes walking you can reach two different cafe's so you know, whatever.. I didn't receive a key to lock the room - I suppose this may be a custom here, I didn't birng any valuables so I didn't mind, but technically any of the neighboring guests or anyone off the street could have walked in and gone through my stuff. But then again, this may be normal here, for me I'm an open person I came only with a backpack and no valuables just used clothes, so I didn't mind.

The host arranged my speedboat transporation to and from the airport and they picked us up from the port with an electric cart in Thoddoo. Price for the entire journey was 35 USD per person, per way (2024 January). The speedboats depart on a semi-fixed schedule, they seem to go approximately every 3 hours or so, depending on demand, so for sure there will be one when your flight arrives or departs. After arriving, of course don't expect a resort island or hotel quality experience, but as an apartman Sunrise Inn is perfect. There is no reception per-se, but the host keeps in touch with the drivers so he or his family will know when you arrive more or less, and you can just text them if you need something and they will appear. I was initially shown to an empty room by a family member, but later i found the host in the neighbouring building and i was able to ask for some drinking water and some local advice. Bed was comfortable, room was clean and a nice wardrobe was available. Anyway you come here for the nature and the 'outside' not for the hotel. Kettle and plastic mugs were provided in the room. Power sockets are both EU/UK compatible, with additional adapters also provided. Breakfast was from 8:30-9:30 and was prepared by the host's family: sliced up fresh fruit and a sunny side-up egg with sausages. - made fresh as you arrive, not a buffet style. Simple but more than enough. At noon and after susnset I would go to one of the local cafes or restaurants for a meal. Approx price for a normal local meal is 100-140 MVR per person. A/C was working great, but opening the windows at night is just as good. Wifi was good enough, but i recommend buying local mobile data anyway. Shampoo, towels, beach towels and drinking water is provided by the host. Hosts are always around and available shoud you have any special request.

Communication could be slightly improved. They answered to your questions and do deliver what you like or what you need but perhaps English is a bit the barrier there. They can speak English don't get me wrong but perhaps not as a mothertongue! I would recommend to anyone who ask us where to go!

The hotel is clean, both toilet and the room itself. All rooms have a garden view and the description is accurate. The staff is nice and the breakfast is amazing. Just a note is that they don't prep Maldivian breakfast on Friday as it should be their day off. They have snorkeling equipment and bicycles for free and they were extremely useful for us. You are in a Muslim country so remember there no matter where you stay you hear the prayers at 5am but they only last 15 minutes. We would hear but very low, so no problem at all. The windows could be closed 100%. There is even a safe in each room!
